During the Summer Solstice, the sun never fully goes down in Iceland. It sets around 11:30pm-12:00am, and then begins rising around 2:00am or so. This results in either a long, glorious and seamless sunset to sunrise scenario, or a nice gentle and even overcast light for several hours. We planned our trip so that we would be near some of the waterfalls I wanted to photograph on many nights of the trip, which led to me spending many late nights alone at some of the most epic waterfalls while my wife rested back in our room.
This is Seljalandsfoss, which was one of my favorite waterfalls on our first trip to Iceland. It is 60 meters high and looks even more beautiful in the summer, with the lush green grass and flowered fields seeming to stretch for days into the distance along the cliff side.
The sunset I received on this evening was serene and dramatic. The wind was kind, so I was able to spend a significant amount of time behind the waterfall without getting my equipment too wet.
These shots were all taken between 11:30pm and 1:30am local time, using Lee graduated filters to help control the exposure.
From Wikipedia:
Seljalandsfoss is one of the best known waterfalls in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 (Iceland) and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall is one of the most popular waterfalls and natural wonders in Iceland. The waterfall drops 60 meters and is part of the river Seljalands-river that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajokull. One of the interesting things about this waterfall is the fact that visitors can walk behind it into a small cave. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6
We can often go behind this waterfall and take excelente photos, but the path was still closed as it was full of ice.
"Seljalandsfoss is situated between Selfoss and Skógafoss, where Route 1 (the Ring Road) meets the track going to Þórsmörk.
This waterfall is on river Seljalandsá and drops 60 metres (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is usually possible to walk behind the waterfall.

Seljalandsfoss is one of the most stunning natural attractions of Iceland. The waterfall plunges over an undercut cliff, with a single clear drop of 60 m (196 ft) into a pool below in the meadows. It is one of the few waterfalls in the world where it is possible to walk behind and around the fall. There are a number of smaller waterfalls can also be seen along the cliff. From the waterfall, Seljalands River flows through a beautiful meadow.

You can walk behind this waterfall, although with the impressive water flow this day, everyone was returning soaked. I decided to pass, since after two weeks I was finally getting somewhat inured to waterfalls.
July 4, 2018 - Seljalandsfoss is fed by the Seljalands River from melting water from the famed glacier-capped Eyjafjallajokull volcano. The waterfall drops a height of 197 feet. This waterfall has a slippery foot path that leads you behind it. You and your camera will get wet trust me but it was well worth the experience! I tried to keep my lens dry in my coat but once you pull your camera out the lens will get wet. Seljalandsfoss is located off Road 1 on the Golden Circle about two hours east of Reykjavik.
One of the more famous and interesting waterfalls on the south coast of Iceland. You can walk behind the fall for some interesting looks back out.
